Note: On startup, the PXE performs all of its functions, including event 
rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected 
instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For 
example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new 
configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule. 

 

Backup and Restore of PXE Device Settings 

Different from the Bulk Configuration file, the backup file contains 
device-specific data like network settings. To back up or restore PXE 
device settings, you should perform the Backup/Restore feature. 

All PXE information is captured in the XML backup file except for the 
device logs and SSL certificate. 

Note: To perform the bulk configuration among multiple PXE devices, 
perform the Bulk Configuration feature instead. See 

Bulk Configuration

 

(on page 173). 

 

To download a backup PXE XML file: 

1.  Choose Maintenance > Backup/Restore. The Backup/Restore of 

Device Settings dialog opens. 

2.  In the Save Device Settings section, click Download Device Settings. 

Save the file to your computer.   

The file is saved in the XML format, and its content is encrypted 
using the AES-128 encryption algorithm. 

 

To restore the PXE using a backup XML file: 

1.  Choose Maintenance > Backup/Restore. The Backup/Restore of 

Device Settings dialog opens. 

2.  In the Copy Device Settings section, click Browse to locate the file.   

3.  Click Upload & Restore Device Settings to upload the file. 

A message appears, prompting you to confirm the operation and 
enter the admin password.   

4.  Enter the admin password, then click Yes to confirm the operation. 

5.  Wait until the PXE device resets and the Login page re-appears, 

indicating that the restore is complete. 

Note: On startup, the PXE performs all of its functions, including event 
rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected 
instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For 
example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new 
configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule.
